Men only

Viseral



I'm not a guy, so I can't be sure, but I guess some guys might love this urinal design that appeals to their erm. senses. This urinal is from the club Roxy. It has this perceived hedonic quality of fun and cheekiness, so even if it may be hard to clean properly at the sides of the erm. mouth, some weird men may actually want to own it. I guess it is fully functional and usuable, so yea..why not.

Another cool toilet at Felix in Hong Kong. A more conventional feel- good kind of cool. Not too user friendly as the design makes one feel exposed. Messy guys might miss and splash all over the floor. Other than that, who doesn't want to look at the pretty Hong Kong night scene while peeing?


Behavioural



The good old school urinal. It could be pleasurable to use because it is functional and no- frills, serving the needs of men when they need it most. Namely after long lectures without breaks. Plus, every guy knows how to use it because it is user- friendly.

Again, no cool toilets in Singapore, so I had to search online. This is what I found.

A public toilet (by Urilift) that elevates with a remote at night to cater to party animals who used to pee publicly all over the streets (in other countries). In the day, it is almost invisible, camouflaged as a sewage cover. Makes you want to own one of these, though you can't unless you are freaking rich or is the government. It combines high- tech with functionality as the hardy material means it is vandalism proof, making things easier on the eyes and on the toilet auntie.
